I’m sorry, I started joking because you weren’t being serious either.

Wait, you were being serious?

Well I’ve got a solution for you!

Just insert this adapter into the 3.5mm jack and it will be blocked for you. It’ll no longer be wasted space because this adapter is a useful place to store several grains of rice for a snack.

Unfortunately you do lose a feature as a result of using this adapter, it will stop one of the speakers from working and degrade your audio quality.

But you shouldn’t complain about anything removing a feature, or degrading your audio quality. You’ve got a new feature of being able to store rice!

You can even buy special fairphone sustainable rice from us. With only a small 300% mark up but an incredible 80% of the sustainability of already available rice. It comes in green!

The “demographic” of human being who doesn’t want to wreck the planet if Fairphone’s target.

If Fairphone is not trying to be universal anymore you should see that as a problem. So should every fairphone customer.

I’ll buy a more sustainable phone than the fairphone when my phone loses support in 2027. I’ll encourage everyone to buy a more sustainable product today.

I’d much prefer a 3.5mm jack

Do you genuinely believe that?

Hamas certainly deserves condemnation and are terrorists.

But IDF members are posting drone executions of unarmed children on social media themselves.

The IDF are just as complicit as Hamas in harm to civilians. The evidence is irrefutable.

Terrorist like Hamas attack and capture civilians, claim credit and post to social media. The IDF are doing the same thing.

If Hamas surrendered today I have no belief that the IDF will stop.

We’ve seen frequently that over decades the IDF have killed Palestinians protesting peacefully, killed press present at protests, killing medics.

Now they’re taking the opportunity to attack civilians in hospital, civilians queuing for aid, killing civilians with drones. Displacing and starving a whole population.

These are war crimes.

The individual soldiers are now criminals it doesn’t matter whether they follow orders or not. That precedent is already set at the Hague.

The question is, if they’ve been following orders, how far up the ranks in the IDF are the war criminals?

Assuming orders are being given and followed, what is the motivation for the orders?

It looks like the definition for genocide is being met. An organised force, starving a population and culture, displacing a population and culture, removing and displacing orphaned children from that country.

If you think Hamas are the cause of all of this I’ve got bad news for you. They’re only an excuse, the IDF has been waiting to do these things for a long time.

The only question is how high the intent to do this has actually come from.

iPods had an 82% share of the US market at the time the term was first used.

https://www.theregister.com/2004/10/12/ipod_us_share/

At the time a “broadcast” to you iPod made the name podcast pretty understandable.

And there’s not much else I could think of to call it given technology at the time.

MP3 player was the generic term. But MP3 cast feels clunky.

I did hear audioblog used. But they weren’t all blogs.

It really comes down to the fact that at the time everyone knew “pod” meant “iPod” and that’s it.

It does matter. If for example it’s like the Americans transporting prisoners to be tortured landing here again it makes us complicit.

It means we have even more reason to hold our government to account any way we can.

Framework 13 has a fingerprint reader in the power button.

They really don’t care. It can take a lot of time to put a solid case together and you’re better off having a solid case than a quick trial.

The statute of limitations is much longer than a year. It’s usually around 5.

They can wait, see who’s made the money, then target them for a payout.

The rights holder first considers the size of the payout vs. the cost of legal fees.

Just because they haven’t been sued directly for this doesn’t make it infringement.

It’s clear from the output that it breaks copyright.

We don’t have to look inside the black box to demand to see the input which caused that output.

To be clear a machine is not responsible for itself. This machine was trained to break copyright.

If every time what already exists gets used there’s a risk of a massive fine or court case they’ll throw it away.

The game now is to delay the legal process long enough until they’ve built the replacement.

Then they can afford to throw the, essentially faulty, model away.

My point is that corporations often see a fine as a cost of business because the fines are issued by a regulatory system that has no teeth.

If you’re in a lawsuit against another corporation they are going after damages in civil court and it’s likely to be a high enough fine to stop the behaviour.

Typically they aren’t fighting other corporations.

Except AI models may end up having to start again with licences or public domain data.

They are currently breaking the law and delaying legal action as long as possible in the hopes they can repeat the trick with a new data set.

Monetisation?

Licensing the site to AI when there’s finally a ruling they can’t just scrape the internet for training data while ignoring copyright.

They absolutely do exist. I’d just have to install them.

Almost…

Don’t overestimate the cost

That’s the retail price for 5, including tax.

Trade will be 20% cheaper if not more for buying in bulk.

If I moved to the states, my home would get switches on outlets.
